Dayton coffee shop named ‘Best in Ohio’ by Food & Wine magazine

The list of Dayton-area establishments scoring statewide and national shout-outs just grew by one: A downtown Dayton coffee shop has been singled out by the national foodie-magazine Food & Wine as serving the “Best Coffee in Ohio.”

In an article posted yesterday, March 23, entitled “The Best Coffee in Every State,” Food & Wine identified Press Coffee Bar, located at 257 Wayne Ave. in the Oregon District, as its choice for best coffee in the state, ahead of runners-up mentioned from the Cleveland, Cincinnati and Youngstown areas.

“Industry vet Brett Barker launched this near-perfect spot in Dayton’s historic Oregon neighborhood as a showcase for his favorite roasters, eventually bringing things in-house, with the founding of Wood Burl Coffee. The switch-over made a terrific café a proper destination—one of the most studiously attentive to detail you will find in the state.”
